The rivals were paired together in a draw for the last eight published on Monday.

Ian Street’s men, now the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, secured a spot at the next stage following a 2-0 win against Northwich Victoria last week.

They had already seen off Congleton Town in the preliminary round.

Witton Albion, who progressed following a 3-1 win at Barnton last Wednesday, will have to wait to discover their opponents.

However Carl Macauley’s men know they will have home advantage for a meeting with either Warrington or Tranmere Rovers.

Those two are scheduled to meet at Cantilever Park next week.

Stockport County, conquerors of Winsford United after extra time and a penalty shoot-out, will visit either Crewe Alexandra or Stalybridge Celtic.
